TOLERANCE
THE CHINA MAIL.
We are never afraid to mention names. We have proved that. We don't mention a name this time because we are tolerant even of inte- lerance, when it is the manifestation of a merely temporary rage.
Yesterday evening a gentleman who disapproved of something in last night's paper approached one of our reporters with an inflamed counten- ance and threatened to knock his
face off.
A reporter without a face, even though this was a plain one, would be of ao use to us, so we are glad the threat was not carried out. We hope to use this particular repotter again.
He is a good reporter.

Voltaire abhorred the writings of Helvetius. Yet he wrote to Helvetius these rather noteworthy words.:
"I wholly disapprove of what you say-and will defend to the death your right to say it."
If he had got angry and threatened to knock his face off, history would have lost that. Knocking faces off is such a common attitude that historians don't waste ink on it.
Voltaire's words were uncommonly fine, weren't they?
He knew what intolerance was. He had suffered by it. He was the first (French) Shakespearian scholar. He translated Shakespeare into. French, and made him known to the French. But he didn't idolize Shakespeare, as certain Englishmen do "Shakespeare and the Bible," reading neither and eglecting both. He criticized Shake- speare. Whereupon, as Augustine Birrell says, the fact that he knew Shakespeare's plays as few English- men then did availed him nothing. What right had a Frenchman to have any opinion of his own about Shakespeare?
